A joint resolution to establish a bipartisan National Commission on Federal Deficit Reduction.

Summary

Establishes the National Commission on Federal Deficit Reduction to review all relevant elements of fiscal and monetary policy.

Requires the Commission to: (1) analyze all potential options which would result in deficit reductions and place the Government on a sound financial basis; (2) provide recommendations for short- and long-term deficit reduction alternatives to the President and each House of Congress; and (3) report to the President and the Congress within 180 days after enactment of this Act on its recommendations for appropriate legislative and administrative actions to achieve a balanced Federal budget by the end of FY 1989 and to ensure balanced budgets thereafter.
